The current media cycle is also doing this to be anti-Black. This has put lots of Asian and Black activists in an awkward position. Asian-American leftists feel a bit uneasy pulling Black Americans into an issue they deservedly need to have a say in, and Black activists want to give the spotlight to the Asian community despite how parts of the Asian-American community are not listening very carefully to how the Black community voices their Asian-American support. I then go on r/nba and I see dog whistles over Lebron James’ vaccination and China stances, and those reddit netizens are really hell bent on attacking Black people for what was said towards Jeremy Lin.
Note that this is not me erasing or speaking over the current issue, nor is it pulling another community into what should be a uniquely separate issue, this is just me being frank about how and why they are doing this.
Holy shit I notice this stuff all the time and it’s wild to see it put into words. Drives me up a fucking wall. Anything cheaply made or of poor quality and people are incredibly quick to deride it as “Ha MADE IN CHINA” as if that matters. Or how every Asian culture is a monolith and completely interchangeable the one from the other.
